With plans by the Government to concession some of the national stadiums,Osaile questioned why officials are only concerned about giving out the Sports complexes to people,thereby eroding the essence of building it in the first place.
Osaile noted that someone had already converted some parts of the National Stadium,Surulere into a brothel,building rooms where prostitutes practice their trade.
“The National Stadium, Lagos has been turned to a brothel. Someone there built rooms all around the place and it is prostitutes patronizing the place.
“They (officials) know about what is going on but they don’t care because they hire the place to people. All the under of the steps (of the main bowl) have been converted to small rooms, where they practice prostitution.”
He also added that five other national stadiums in the country,with the exception of the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna,are in serious need of a face-lift.
“I have never seen where facilities have been so abandoned. The Liberty Stadium (Ibadan) is dead. They said Enugu stadium is under concession but where are the concession papers? Only the Ahmadu Bello Stadium is a bit neat and this is because of the Vice President, Namadi Sambo, who loves sports and comes from the state,” Osaile added.
“Government is not monitoring facilities; they should look at them and put them in good use.”
